Modern Family Kids Are Getting Big Raises—Here's What You Need To Know

Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about something pretty exciting happening in the world of television. The kids from the beloved sitcom Modern Family are about to start earning some serious cash. This iconic show, which has been a staple in our living rooms for years, is set to continue for at least two more seasons. And as part of that continuation, Deadline recently broke the news that young stars Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, and Rico Rodriguez will see their paychecks jump significantly. Starting with Seasons 9 and 10, these talented young actors will each rake in at least $100,000 per episode. That's some serious bread, right?

Now, while $100,000 per episode might sound like a massive amount—and honestly, it is—these young stars are still not at the top of the earnings ladder within the cast. The older, more seasoned actors on the show have secured even bigger paydays. Their salaries jumped from about $350,000 per episode in Season 8 to around $500,000 for Season 9. That’s a pretty impressive bump, if you ask me!

Why ABC Can Afford Such Generous Raises

Let’s take a moment to understand why ABC can afford to be so generous with these pay raises. The success of Modern Family has been nothing short of extraordinary. Over its long run, the show has racked up a total of 22 Emmy Awards and received over 75 Emmy nominations. That’s a testament to its enduring popularity and quality. The children who joined the cast when they were just kids have now grown up on our screens, becoming part of a successful network comedy that has captivated audiences for nearly a decade.

Breaking Down the Numbers

Season 8 of Modern Family had 22 episodes, and if Season 9 follows the same format, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, and Rico Rodriguez are set to earn approximately $2.2 million each for the upcoming season. The six adult actors, meanwhile, will be pocketing around $11 million each in Season 9. These numbers highlight just how successful the show has been and solidify the cast's place among the top TV stars of our time.

Sarah Hyland Reflects on Her Journey

Sarah Hyland, who plays Haley Dunphy on the show, has been open about the profound impact the role has had on her career. She’s also shared how close the cast has grown over the years, forming a bond that goes beyond just being co-workers. “I’ve been in this industry for 20 years now, and it took me 14 years to land a job like Modern Family,” Sarah told Nylon in 2015. “I will forever be grateful for that. I could never get tired of it because it’s the best cast in the world. Every actor who has been on a show as long as we have—or even longer—loves their cast with all of their heart. I really don’t know what the future holds for the show, but I can’t imagine my life without it. The thought of not seeing them on a day-to-day basis makes me emotional.” It’s a touching sentiment that speaks to the genuine connection the cast shares.
